Learn how pets work in Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, what they pick up, and how to unlock them, including the Faithful Companion quest and different pet acquisition methods.
Hey there! So you're diving into Diablo IV and wondering about those little critters following you around? Let's talk about pets in the Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred expansion. Think of them as your loyal, if mostly cosmetic, companions. They tag along, and their main gig is to snag loot for you automatically. This means they'll grab things that don't take up your precious inventory space, like gold, gem fragments, and those handy Aberrant Cinders. It's not a game-changer, but it's a nice little convenience so you don't have to backtrack for every stray bit of treasure.
Right now, there are a few pets available, and they all function identically – the only difference is how they look. Many of them are tied to special editions or pre-orders. For example, Alkor is a preorder bonus, Hratli comes with the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions, and Natalya is exclusive to the Ultimate Edition. But don't worry if you're sticking to the standard edition; you'll still get Asheara just by completing a quest, so everyone gets a pet!
Pets will follow you around, picking up gems, ore, herbs, gold, and Aberrant Cinders.
